Conclusion: Protect your lens
Review: I received this item right away, even though it was holiday time and other shipments were running slowly. After reading many reviews, I thought, since I spent a lot on my new Canon lens, it deserved to have the best lens protection I could find. So far, so good!!

Conclusion: It's invisible - which is why you want it.
Review: I did some simple tests to determine just how much this filter degrades an image. Took shots with the filter on and with no filter on and compared results under extreme magnification. I was pleased to find that there was absolutely no visible difference that I could detect. Well done, B & W.
What about Tiffen?
Because Amazon usually includes a free Tiffen or Hoya filter with every lens, I usually get it for one reason only... to protect my lens until my B+W filter arrives. Once the B+W arrives, I throw away the Tiffen. Please don't be an idiot that spends $500-$1,000 on a new lens who then puts a $6 filter on the front. There IS a difference and it is clearly visible.

Conclusion: Works as you'd expect
Review: Protects the lens, doesn't add artifacts to pictures, and cuts haze. It does just what its supposed to.

Conclusion: Qulity is never for free
Review: I have been using B&W filters for over 20 years - so, I can't really compare it with others.
I keep on buying B&W filters because of the quality of material, the absence of glare and the safety that even in a wide angel view, there will be no shade in the edges.
Can you get the same quality from a cheaper filter? maybe YES! but I am not going to be the first one that tries it out.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: GREAT Filters, No Ghosts or Shadows + Lense Protection
Review: B&W are one of my favorite filter makers and personally I have never had a problem with their products and they have only protected my equipment as well as making sure I get the real shots I desire or what I am actually seeing without side affects that often occur with cheap or non-multicoated filters. Shop around, read reviews and even look at them in photo stores, compare etc. I paid about 1/2 of what I would have in a store by shopping online.
